It’s a little advanced but llamar in the context of a name is reflexive (llamarse) so you’re asking someone “what do you call yourself?” and they answer with “I call myself........”. The little “se” changes to a pronoun to show that the action of calling/naming is being directed to someone (“me” is my[self] or me, and “llamo” is I call, so “me llamo” is “I call myself”). I hope it makes sense, I know that it’s a little confusing grammatically at first but you can learn it with practice.

Okay so when a verb is reflexive the se at the end changes to another pronoun (me, te, se and so on) and then gets moved at the beginning of the verb to show that an action is done to the person who is also doing the action, such as calling yourself by your name,
